THE MAX WEBER PROGRAMME FOR POST-DOCTORAL STUDIES ANNUAL REPORT ON ACADEMIC YEAR 2012/13

FOREWORD

2012–2013 was the 7th academic year of the Max Weber Programme and, in several respects, marks the end of a first period of the programme. Change and continuity will mark this transition. Change in housing and directorship; continuity in funding, fellowships, activities, and most of the MWP team.

How change and continuity interact determines success or failure in the evolutionary process… whether species and societies grow or decay. Change is needed for innovation to take place; continuity is needed for knowledge and resources to accumulate. This annual report provides an excellent abridged account of what the Max Weber Programme is (more to come in the forthcoming sevenyear report). An account is always useful, for change and continuity to play their role.

Ramon Marimon, Director of the Max Weber Programme

It is mostly about the Max Weber Fellows, about what they have done individually (see their individual pages) and collectively (Academic Practice Groups, Reading Groups, joint activities, etc.). Although, one must confess, not all collective activities are being reported here… many hours spent with other Fellows in and out of Villa La Fonte – sharing anxieties, experiences and projects – have made the year a memorable one for them. But this is part of their private collective memory, and the report respects this.

It is also, of course, about the Max Weber Programme Activities, which now constitute a distinctive feature of the programme as a (unique?) ‘Structured postdoctoral programme’ in the Social Sciences and Humanities. From those we call Multidisciplinary Activities (workshops, conferences, Max Weber Lectures) to those we call Academic Practice Activities (presentations, academic writing, job-search, workshops, reading and study groups, etc.) EUI faculty, external faculty and other professionals have participated in most of these activities. We have all benefited from this collaboration and I would like to thank them.

But there is no dividing line between Fellows and Activities. MWP activities are, primarily, MWFs activities and, in fact, the Fellows themselves organize many of these activities, as this Year Report clearly shows. In fact, we have had great conferences and workshops and a very special Max Weber Fellows activity: the MWFs June Conference with a large participation of Max Weber Fellows from all the six previous years; possibly the best account of what the programme has achieved in these seven years.

It is about the activities of the Academic Careers Observatory, helping to better understand how academic careers and funding opportunities are structured in different countries and, in particular, what the current state of the European Research and Higher Education Area in these years of prolonged Euro crisis is.

And, although it is not very explicit in the report, it is also about the MWP staff and other EUI supporting staff that make it possible to run a professional programme; my thanks go also to them.

ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013

MAX WEBER PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES 2012-2013 The activities of the Max Weber Programme are concentrated around two core themes: Academic Practice and Multidisciplinary Research. Over the seven years of the Programme, the objectives of the activities have become more structured and focused. An important lesson has been that the practice skills are best learned when working with individuals, and thus a strong focus on tutorials and individual feedback based on different needs is now a central part of the Programme. The research activities, on the other hand, demand a multidisciplinary focus and a strong level of participation from as many Fellows as possible to reach their aim of enhancing and fostering multidisciplinary understanding.

ACADEMIC PRACTICE ACTIVITIES Based on the experience gained in the first few years, the Academic Practice activities programme is organized into three Modules: i) Job Market ii) Publishing and Writing and iii) Teaching. The modules overlap in time to allow for continuity and follow-up sessions on activities within the discipline groups (Academic Practice Groups) and the Academic Communication Skills support, offered within the programme throughout the academic year.

JOB MARKET MODULE The Max Weber Programme actively supports Fellows seeking an academic position. First, in addition to the workshops in which Fellows discuss and develop their CVs, cover letters, bio-sketches and web pages, they also share information and discuss job market strategies in their fields. Second, Fellows receive professional feedback on their presentation and interviewing skills.

Mock interviews are filmed and assessed by professionals and provide Fellows with the opportunity for further individual self-assessment on interview techniques.

MAX WEBER PROGRAMME FOR POST-DOCTORAL STUDIES

An increasingly vital part of the job market is self presentation on the internet. To assist the Fellows in presenting themselves and their research in the best possible way, the MWP offers all Fellows the opportunity to construct their own website. A special CMS system has been set up which is very easy for Fellows to use, and offers a space where they can upload their publications, their research agendas and their teaching experience and present themselves in a professional manner (www. mwpweb.eu/). Max Weber Fellows can take their personal websites to their new academic institutions when their Fellowship comes to an end.

The MWP is also a platform for obtaining information about, and reflecting on, the current state of the academic job market. In particular, the Academic Careers Observatory (ACO) offers a unique resource for researchers looking for a job in academia and, in general,

components: i) an academic writing course, offered in the First Term, ii) individual tutorials and iii) disciplinary writers’ groups, the latter two continuing throughout the year. The EUI Language Unit and the Max Weber Programme also offer the Fellows an extensive language revision service. English language revision is offered to all Fellows for their publications and working papers. Several Fellows also use the revision service for their Power Point slides, CVs and cover letters.

The 2012-2013 activities on publishing and writing were: ■■ Workshop, ‘Research and Grant application: how to write a research proposal’ (with EUI Faculty)

■■ Workshop, ‘Learning outcomes and strategies’ with Lynn McAlpine (Oxford) ■■ Workshop, ‘How to structure a lecture’ with Neil McLean (LSE) ■■ Workshop, ‘Small-group teaching.

TEACHING MODULE The Max Weber Programme aims to improve and develop standards of excellence in Fellows’ teaching skills.

The 2012-2013 MWP activities on Teaching were: ■■ Preparatory meetings for the Humboldt, UPF and LSE Teaching Exchanges (Matt Plews and David Bowskill from Humboldt University in Berlin, Mireia Trenchs from UPF Barcelona, and Nick Byrne from the LSE, London) ■■ Workshop, ‘Curriculum and Course Development’ with Lynn McAlpine (Oxford)

MAX WEBER PROGRAMME FOR POST-DOCTORAL STUDIES

Actual teaching by Fellows is not a MWP requirement but taking into account that Fellows arrive with differing teaching experience, and that teaching methods differ across fields and university systems, the MWP offers different options for gaining practical teaching experience.

This supports Fellows in their search for an academic position. It is the strategy of the Max Weber Programme to offer opportunities not only outside the EUI (where undergraduate teaching is possible) but also within the EUI. Within the EUI, where mainly research-oriented seminars, master classes and workshops are ‘taught’, there is widespread opportunity to gain teaching experience at a high post-graduate level. Post-graduate teaching, tutoring and advising PhD researchers, as well as coorganising seminars and workshops, are activities very much appreciated by Max Weber Fellows. Fellows are also put in charge of organizing some of the summer schools for European MA students in the Social Sciences. The intended status of Max Weber Fellows as junior faculty is a

7

core strategy of the Max Weber Programme. Departments hold Fellows’ seminars on a regular basis. Considering the standards of excellence of the Max Weber Programme, and the highly selective appointment of its Fellows, a systematic collaboration between EUI Professors and the MWP postdoctoral Fellows promotes the European and global academic reputation of all Departments and the appeal of the EUI as a whole.

Local Universities: Over these seven years, the MWP has expanded its network of collaboration with local universities and has established links with many of the Florence-based American campuses, and Italian Universities offering undergraduate or MA level courses. Among these are James Madison University, Gonzaga University, New York University at La Pietra, FIT/Polimoda and IMT Lucca.

Max Weber Fellows are offered teaching and/or lecturing opportunities at several of these universities. The MA in European Union Policy Studies offered by James Madison University in Florence, for example, guarantees priority in the selection process to Max Weber Fellows with competences in line with James Madison University’s teaching needs. Courses can also be team-taught. Fellows are requested to use state-of-the-art, interactive, teaching methods and are constantly monitored and supervised, in order to improve their performance. Grading methods and tutoring of papers, as well as assessment skills, are developed in conjunction with the academic coordinator.

Fellows receive professional feedback on their performance and an overall written evaluation of their teaching skills by the end of each course. For an overview see: www.eui.eu/MaxWeberProgramme/ TeachingLocalAmericanUniversities.shtml

Learning Centre. In addition, the Fellows had meetings with LSE faculty members in their fields. Based on the success of this experience the Max Weber Programme continued the development of this exchange and in 2009 a selected group of sixteen Fellows had the opportunity to go either to the LSE in London or to Humboldt University in Berlin, for intensive teaching training practice for a week. For the academic year 2009-2010 an agreement was made between the EUI-MWP and the University of Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, to set up a teaching exchange Teaching Abroad: In 2008, the Max Weber Programme set for a maximum of another eight Max Weber Fellows.

Some impressions of the LSE exchange: Fabien le Bot (LAW) The teaching experience at LSE has been a very valuable experience, that helped me improve my pedagogical skills and will definitely be useful in my future practice. We were warmly welcomed by everyone at the LSE Language Centre, especially by Nick Byrne, who organized, with Alison Standing, our stay at the LSE. Even though it was sometimes organized at the last minute, we could have access without any problem to the facilities of the LSE (internet, printing, library), for the purpose of our teaching practice and of our own research. I also participated in a seminar on EU Law organized by the Department of Law (Prof. D. Chalmers).

David Pretel (HEC) Presenting three times the same topic in the same week allowed me to improve my presentation and the way I delivered it. It was a challenge to teach students with Simon Jackson and Kalle Kananoja, MWFs (HEC) different cultural and academic backgrounds and with such a different English level and interests. It was disappointing that many of them did not have the minimum training in history, economics or sociology to follow the class. The feedback and suggestions I received from Nicky, Chris and On the LSE Exchange Nick were very useful. They helped me to focus more on The exchange was set up by the Max Weber Programme the needs of the students and their participation and less and the LSE Teaching and Learning Centre.

Some impressions of the UPF exchange:

Five Max Weber Fellows went to Humboldt University for a five day teaching practice visit, which was set up by agreement between the Max Weber Programme and the English Department of the Language Centre. The exchange took place from 27-31 May 2013. The Fellows who went to to Humboldt were: Gabrielle Clark (LAW), Julia Cordero Coma (SPS), Daniel Horn (SPS), Konrad Lawson (HEC) and Kalle Kananoja (HEC).

Thomas Beukers (LAW) The reason why I chose to have a teaching exchange at UPF instead of at Humboldt or LSE was to have the possibility of a real-life teaching experience as opposed to a simulation with English language students. The experience at UPF confirmed that I made the right choice. My main concern was whether a good fit could be found between my research interests and the courses running at the moment of my stay. The exchange was set up by the Max Weber Programme This turned out to work very well. The Professor (Victor and Humboldt University, Berlin. The module included Ferreres Comella) had advised me to ‘lecture’ most of the following components: the time because of the lack of knowledge of the students.

■■ Interim session with all Fellows reviewing their first teaching session ■■ A round-up assessment session of the Teaching Practice Week ■■ Full technical support The Humboldt staff responsible for the organisation of the module were Connie Hacke and David Bowskill.

Some impressions of the Humboldt exchange: Gabrielle Clark (LAW) From the welcome dinner to the teaching feedbacks, the Humboldt hosts were quite gracious, supportive, and constructive. Our collaborative small sessions enabled strong lesson planning, while the individual mentor-model also worked quite well. I taught an undergraduate and a graduate seminar, and was very impressed with the students’ language level and intellectual preparation. Cornelia Hacke took the programme very seriously, and gave very great personal feedback.

the first meeting on teaching exchange in the Fall semester I also got the impression that the week at Humboldt University was the best organized. David Bowskill was very helpful and approachable both before and during the teaching practice week. The same goes for rest of the Language Centre teachers we met during the week. They took us seriously and were committed to helping us develop our teaching skills. The format of the teaching exchange worked very well. We had the opportunity to teach the same lecture twice to different sets of students with feedback sessions immediately after the class.

Both times, I was observed by three teachers, two of whom were present at both classes. This was very helpful because I got multifaceted feedback and not just one person’s opinion.

Julia Cordero Coma (SPS) The teaching exchange at Humboldt University has been a very fruitful experience. The people at the Language Centre took their job in this regard very seriously. They were absolutely committed to make our stay a valuable teaching experience. Before arriving in Berlin, we were informed about the schedule for the week and the level of English of the two groups that we were expected to teach. At our first meeting with the people at the Language centre, we were able to present our teaching plans, and we received advice about the organization of the class, the teaching load, and the type of material we could use. It was particularly useful for me to see what the other Fellows were planning to do. Receiving and providing some comments among the Fellows was a relevant part of the three meetings that we had at the centre.

Kalle Kananoja (HEC) I chose to go to Humboldt primarily because it gave me a chance to meet with colleagues in Berlin. However, during

ACADEMIC PRACTICE GROUPS The discipline-bound Academic Practice Groups were initiated in the second year of the Max Weber Programme.

The Practice Groups complement the Practice Workshops and serve as follow-up or preparatory sessions for the existing workshops. Additional topics and themes are also discussed in the groups. The Practice Groups allow for more discussion and in-depth exchange of ideas and experience within the disciplines. It is the Fellows’ experience that the groups help establish very close working and personal ties.

Some of the topics discussed within the Academic Practice Groups 2012-2013 and as a collective were: ■■ Comparing different PhD experiences. Assessing the effectiveness of different graduate programmes or models ■■ Publishing and refereeing: i) improving our understanding: main journals (publishers) in the relevant field/discipline; ii) effective use of citation indexes; iii) strengths and weaknesses of current peer-review practices and the ethics of peer-reviewing; iv) designing a publishing and refereeing strategy; v) writing a book proposal, etc

■■ Developing new course curricula. Best experiences or practices in teaching ■■ Ethical issues on sharing knowledge and ideas: being a mentor, and copyrights ■■ Making a research proposal and strategies for getting funding ■■ Discussing ‘Code of Good Practice in Academic Research’ ■■ Contributing to the development of academia, within your university, your professional associations, networks ■■ Designing the Ideal Graduate Programme ECO FELLOWS PRACTICE GROUP The Economics Academic Practice Group of 2012-2013, coordinated by Charles Brendon, held a number of fruitful discussions over the year, on topics including job market strategy, interview technique, publication strategy, and academic ethics. In roughly half of the cases the discussion was just among the economics Fellows, whilst the remainder were led by members of faculty at the EUI.

The meetings were often most useful for the way they highlighted differing beliefs among the Fellows as to what constitutes normal academic practice – with these beliefs depending in particular on a Fellow’s PhD-awarding country and institution. In this way they played a direct role in helping Fellows gain a sense of international norms in academic economics. This was most clear during the first discussion, on job market strategy, which took place among the Fellows alone. Those with European PhDs were accustomed to a far more targeted job search than the mass application process that is now common in the US, and were struck at the revelation that one Fellow had applied for almost 200 posts during the previous year. Since US norms are increasingly becoming international norms in this area, it was helpful to consider optimal strategies in such an environment – and to hear the advice of those who had negotiated it.

The second discussion, on interview technique, was led initially by Ramon Marimon. It again allowed for useful practical advice to be passed on at a very timely point in the job market process, and for Fellows once more to share different experiences of their own. Ramon’s comments were useful for highlighting the motivation of

interviewers – generally asking themselves: ‘Do I want this person as a colleague?’ – and the best way to shape one’s responses in light of this. It was clear that some Fellows had received far more interview preparation during their PhD programmes than others, and the session was also useful for allowing such advice to be shared.

A third discussion – led by Fernando Vega-Redondo – looked at optimal publishing strategies. In some ways this is a more straightforward matter in economics than other disciplines, since there is no prior question of format: journal articles are (essentially) the sole possible outlet for an economist’s work. But the long delays associated with the review process, in many cases without success, provide a number of dilemmas: How ambitious a journal to target?

How many projects to pursue at once? How actively to pursue unforthcoming editors? Fernando placed a strong emphasis on the benefits of ‘portfolio diversification’ – of having a number of active projects at any given point in time, and of avoiding uniformly ambitious (or uniformly under-ambitious) target journals. This advice was extremely helpful at a time when many Fellows were in the process of submitting work from their PhD for publication.

The next meeting focused on graduate-level teaching – of particular relevance to the two-year Fellows who were then preparing to teach advanced half-courses for the EUI PhD programme. This was led by Arpad Abraham, who emphasised, in particular, the differences in style necessary when teaching advanced courses relative to introductory ones. It was particularly useful to view advanced courses as a means for providing students with potential research projects, and this perspective helped in the subsequent design process.

In the last meeting, the group discussed the structure of a PhD programme and prepared an ideal model.

The Fellows noticed that the current PhD models often suffer from two particular problems. First, the current models approach the candidates in the same way as students without realizing the fundamental difference – while MA students invest in their education by taking up the programme, in the case of the PhD programme, it is the educational institution who invest in their PhD candidates, and their failure is foremost a failure of the institution. Second, and related to the previous point, educational institutions cease caring about their candidates once they hand over the diploma, although it is success in the job market that should be the ultimate test of the programme’s success or failure. To remedy these problems, the group suggested introducing more flexibility and individual-needs approach to candidates, and to include in the PhD programme an additional funded year, in which the institution helps its candidates to find a position (reported at the general session of the MWP by Fabien LeBot).

The Law Fellows further strengthened the academic life of the Max Weber Programme and the Law Department by taking part in the organization of several conferences, seminars, and workshops, as well as through teaching – with four Fellows teaching at the Law Department and the NYU Florence, and another five Fellows participating in the teaching exchanges at LSE, UPF, and Humboldt University.

SPS FELLOWS PRACTICE GROUP This year there were 13 SPS Fellows in the Max Weber Programme (MWP). Aidan Regan was the representative for SPS Max Weber Fellows in the 2012-2013 academic year, while Adam Bower was coordinator. Additionally, Jean Beaman served as co-representative for the MWP. During the 2012-2013 academic year, the SPS Academic Practice Group (APG) organized six formal meetings to discuss various subjects related to scholarly best practices and professional development. EUI faculty attended many Several Law Fellows set up a Writer’s Group where they of these sessions: discussed with Laurie Anderson particular forms of academic writings, such as article introduction, article 10 October: This was our first official meeting, in which abstract, or cover letter for article submission. Besides our representative was selected, and we discussed potential inquiring into the specific requirements for these forms, activities for the coming year. the group functioned as a peer review for Fellows’ workin-progress, discussing the development of arguments, 12 November: The APG met with Hans Peter Blossfeld and structure of the draft articles, their intelligibility and Donatella della Porta to discuss strategies for academic readability, as well as various techniques and tricks on how publishing. The professors have extensive experience as editors of prominent journals, and were able to offer to improve these qualities. substantive advice on how to approach the market for The Law APG added to the vibrant intellectual life of scholarly publishing. the Max Weber Programme by organizing the largest reading group of the programme, on the Eurocrisis, 13 March: The APG convened a session to discuss ethical which became a truly interdisciplinary forum in which challenges in academia, both with respect to teaching and to discuss the Eurocrisis from different perspectives scholarly conduct. among the Fellows and with leading scholars of the subject, such as Professors Tom Cooley, Miguel Maduro, 20 March: The APG met to present short ‘micro-teaching’ Hanspeter Kriesi, and Bruno de Witte; and by preparing presentations among our SPS colleagues. the Max Weber Programme Workshop on Norms

15 May: The APG again met with SPS faculty (Ulrich Krotz and Sven Steinmo) to review draft syllabi and discuss approaches to undergraduate and graduate teaching. The session was particularly helpful in drawing attention to the inherent trade-offs between teaching and research, and in highlighting strategies for maximizing the impact of our courses.

5 June: The APG discussed the design of graduate programmes. In this session, we paid particular attention to the differences between the ‘North American’ system – with extensive coursework, doctoral field exams, etc. – and the ‘European’ system, which features a shorter and more focused PhD degree.

Informal Meetings and Other Activities As part of our engagement in the MWP, SPS Fellows coorganized and facilitated the following multidisciplinary activities: ■■ Multidisciplinary Research Workshops: SPS Fellows were instrumental in organizing the ‘Euro Crisis’, ‘History and Social Science’ and ‘Norms’ workshops. All three workshops were tied to reading groups in which a number of SPS Fellows were active participants

Additional Sessions: Various SPS Fellows organized practice job talks and mock doctoral defence presentations. These meetings were attended by a number of SPS Fellows.

Extracurricular: SPS Fellows were actively engaged in the social life of the EUI, and met regularly for food (especially pizza) and drinks (various) to discuss shared interests inside and outside of academia. SPS Fellows were particularly well represented on the now-famous Ramones calcetto team. Additionally, an SPS Fellow, Julia Cordero Coma, won a gold medal in the Coppa Pavone Femminile with The Frogs.

Evaluation of Meetings Attendance at the meetings was generally strong: most meetings were attended by the majority of Fellows, and there was active engagement in the discussions.

The general sentiment among the Fellows was that the meetings were positive.

■■ Reading Groups: as above, SPS Fellows were active in the ‘Eurocrisis’, ‘History and Social Science’ and ‘Norms’ reading groups ■■ Writing Groups: SPS Fellows were again heavily represented in a ‘quantitative’ writing group, as well as a ‘dissertation to book’ group that featured several informal meetings over the year Conference Planning: Aidan Regan helped to coordinate a one-day conference with James Madison University titled ‘European Policies in Times of Crisis’. Several SPS Fellows served as discussants at the conference.

Job Market: Brad Epperly convened an evening meeting with SPS Fellows to discuss the structure and specificities of the North American job market.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ACTIVITIES In addition to the Academic Practice activities, a second set of activities is a core part of the Programme. The Multidisciplinary Research activities are designed to improve the Max Weber Fellows’ understanding of the four disciplines, with the aim of enhancing interdisciplinarity and fostering a greater understanding of research and research careers in the Social Sciences, both in Europe and in the United States.

MAX WEBER LECTURES The monthly Max Weber Lectures are delivered by distinguished scholars representing the four disciplines of the Programme (Economics, History, Law and Political and Social Sciences). The Programme aims to invite scholars with a special interdisciplinary focus that will be of broad academic interest to all members of the academic community both within and beyond the EUI. The lectures always take place at 5 pm and are followed by a reception.

The 2012-2013 Max Weber Lectures were given by: Jan deVries is Professor of History and a Professor of Economics at the University of California Berkeley. His research interests have ranged from European agrarian history to historical demography and urbanization, and environmental and climate history to the history of consumer behaviour. He has written many books and articles, most recently The Industrious Revolution (Cambridge University Press, 2008). His current interests include the history of consumer behaviour and topics in global history. Jan deVries’s lecture took place at Villa la Fonte on 17 October 2012 and was titled ‘The Return from Narrative: Post-Cultural History and the Social Sciences’.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH WORKSHOPS The Multidisciplinary Research Workshops are based on input from an invited outside speaker, Fellow or EUI faculty member. They are organized by the MWP following up on suggestions from Fellows, other recommendations, and the Max Weber Fellows themselves. The aim is to enhance multidisciplinary understanding among the disciplines of the Programme.

The Multidisciplinary Research Workshops held in 20122013 were : 10 October 2012 Frontiers in Intellectual Property Law: Ethical, Legal & Economic Boundaries of IP Protection Organizers: Luana Joppert Swensson, Sofia Moratti Baggio, Andrea Wechsler, Yane Svetiev, David Pretel, Michael Rousakis, Max Weber Fellows The workshop aimed to discuss the ethical, legal and economic boundaries of IP protection and to expose conflicting views on the granting of property rights for inventions and innovation. The first session of the workshop revolved around patentability, with a focus on the well-known Brüstle case as decided in October 2011 by the Court of Justice of the European Union (Case C-34/10 Oliver Brüstle v Greenpeace e.V.). In adopting a broad view on the notion of ‘human embryo’, the Court negated the patentability of a particular type of cell, developed in vitro from human embryonic stem cells and used for scientific research. The controversial judgment has been discussed both in academia and industry circles: it was argued that it has the potential to hamper the development of potentially life-saving medical treatment.

The second part of the workshop adopted an economic perspective on the interrelationship between IP protection and innovation. Particular emphasis was put on weak IP rights, research spill-overs and the incentive to innovate.

Building upon the Brüstle case, the session investigated the conditions for the desirability of exclusive IP rights for innovators, as opposed to weak rights allowing for some degree of imitation and ex-post competition.

MAX WEBER PROGRAMME FOR POST-DOCTORAL STUDIES

17 October 2012 Exiting the Euro Crisis?

Keynote by Thomas Cooley, New York University Organizers: Ramon Marimon, Thomas Beukers, Aidan Regan, Charles Brendon This multidisciplinary research workshop discussed the political and policy consequences of the Eurozone crisis. It examined both the short-term solutions that have been proposed to solve the crisis (ECB intervention in bond markets, new rules on fiscal discipline and the establishment of a permanent financial mechanism for distressed Member States) and proposals for a longterm fiscal federal union (e.g. a banking union and a central budget). The issues dealt with ranged from lessons to be learned from the US historical experience to the impact of austerity driven reforms in individual Member States.

14 November 2012 Identity and Citizenship in the New Arab World Olivier Roy, RSCAS, Virginie Collombier, Max Weber Fellow The wide-scale protests that erupted in several Arab countries in 2011 and eventually led to regime change in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya have come to contradict the idea that the ‘Arab street’ was apathetic. In those countries, like in Yemen, Bahrain and Syria, there have been attempts, sometimes marred with extreme violence, to reshape the relationship between the state and citizens.

Protest movements, elections, constitution-drafting are some of the means through which change has been taking place. In this process, tensions have often surfaced between a concept of citizenship that shall put the individual in the first place, and diverse identities (religious, ethnic, tribal and familial) that sometimes interfere, or even take precedence, in the expectedly direct relationship between the citizen and the state.

Through a few case studies and in a historical perspective, the workshop aimed to discuss what has changed in Arab

21

polities and what is at stake in the process of change that is currently taking place.

30 January 2013 Interrogating Interdisciplinarity Gabrielle Clark, Jean Beaman, Konrad Lawson, Stefan Link, Max Weber Fellows The goal of this multidisciplinary workshop was to encourage reflection upon the challenges of communication and collaboration across the disciplinary boundaries of the Max Weber programme. The basic assumptions, foundations, methodologies, academic practices, forms of engagement, and final measures of achievement of each of our disciplines often diverge in ways that are impossible to ignore. In addition, as interdisciplinarity is currently in vogue, the workshop addressed how we actually engage in such interdisciplinary scholarship and collaboration and how we can learn from each other across disciplines.

The first part of this workshop addressed the important foundations and epistemological assumptions of each of our disciplines – Law, Social and Political Sciences, History and Civilization, and Economics. The second part of the workshop focused on one issue – labour – and explored the differing potential starting points and approaches each discipline takes to tackling this subject. Most importantly, the workshop provided an opportunity for frank and open discussion among Max Weber Fellows across disciplines about their different approaches.

6 February 2013 The Radical New World of Central Banking Organizers: ECO Fellows, APG, Charles Brendon, Max Weber Fellow The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop was to explore the shifting role of central banks in developed economies, and in particular the ways in which financial crises – both current and past – have affected their scope for independent policymaking. Since 2007 the manner in which central banks interact with the wider

22

economy has changed almost beyond recognition. The short-term nominal interest rate, previously the main monetary policy instrument, has been pushed to its effective floor of zero in a large number of developed countries, yet a satisfactory recovery in economic conditions has remained elusive. The result has been a growing willingness on the part of these institutions to experiment with alternative measures – in particular the large-scale purchase of privately-held debt from financial markets, known as ‘Quantitative Easing’. At the same time the European Central Bank has played an active and pivotal role in managing the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, through a combination of actual and promised interventions in markets for government securities.

These developments raise a number of important questions. Some relate to quite practical uncertainties: for instance, how much do we understand about the likely effects of the new policies? And how soon, if ever, might we return to the familiar landscape of the past? Others are more normative: How much freedom should central banks have to innovate in this manner? Is there a case for greater democratic scrutiny of their decisions?

15 May 2013 Multi-, Cross-, Inter- Transdisciplinary Research in Disciplinary and Disciplined Universities Johan Galtung, Transcend International Our world does not come to us divided in natural, human and social aspects, with the special divided from micro level psychology via meso sociology-politologyeconomics to macro IR with the global level missing.

All of the above combined. Health science being a good example, development, peace and environment studies being others. The contradiction indicated in the title has not been solved, so that type of research tends to go outside, to think tanks etc., to the great loss of universities.

Max Weber’s ‘Wertfreiheit’ plays a role here. The talk covered some of the experiences of one dubbed the ‘father of peace studies’.

22 May 2013 Contemporary Approaches to Studying Norms across Disciplines Organizers: LAW Fellows, Julia Cordero Coma and Thomas Beukers, Max Weber Fellows Norms are generally understood to be ubiquitous in human societies. Scholarship in diverse fields such as law, economics, politics and sociology has consequently dedicated considerable attention to the meaning and function of norms in ordering various kinds of interactions.

Yet these disciplines approach the subject matter very differently in both philosophical and methodological terms, and so there is perhaps less understanding between academic fields than is the case with other subjects. With this in mind, during this Multidisciplinary Research Workshop two prominent scholars addressed fundamental questions about, for example, the distinction between different types of norms, their emergence and the various explanations of compliance with norms.

Cristina Bicchieri (University of Pennsylvania) gave a keynote speech about her theory of social norms and some of her more recent empirical work.

Giulia Andrighetto (Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, Rome) analysed the role of punishment in the enforcement of norms, combining agent based models and experiments.

sought to bridge the growing gap between historical and social scientific disciplines. This effort has led to the growth and expansion of, among other fields of inquiry, historical sociology, social science history and social history. Both research itself and professional associations bringing historians and social theorists together, have proliferated over recent decades and their growth does not seem to abate.

The workshop asked whether Braudel’s lament still stands today. Is there still a ‘dialogue of the deaf ’ between history and social science? If genuine dialogue has increasingly taken place, what has been learned? Has it simply generated further specialized and isolated sub-disciplines, for instance those of ‘historical sociology’ and ‘historical economics’? Or has it been more broad-based, and hence is it time do away with stereotypes that see historians as overwhelmingly concerned with the particular, change, and narrative, while the social scientist with generalization, patterns, and theory?

In an effort to address some of these questions, the workshop brought together junior and senior scholars from across disciplines that have an interest in understanding the relationship between history and social sciences. Scholars reflected upon the challenges and opportunities that they have encountered when drawing together epistemologies and research methodologies which are generally thought of as belonging either to history or to the social sciences.

MAX WEBER FELLOWS READING GROUPS

It has often been lamented that history and the social sciences have long parted ways into separate disciplines.

So much so that Fernand Braudel once quipped that conversations between historians and social theorists had become akin to a ‘dialogue of the deaf ’. Braudel, however, was one among a growing number of scholars and intellectuals who, over the past half-century, unceasingly

The idea behind this multi-disciplinary reading group was to provide a forum for discussing both recent events in the Eurozone crisis and academic publications on the topic, and exchanging ideas and information about interesting publications. The reading group has come together frequently over the academic year and has brought together Fellows from Law (Thomas Beukers, Tomas

Dumbrovsky), Economics (Charles Brendon, Michalis Rousakis), Political Science (Aidan Regan, Sven Hutter) and History (Simon Jackson), as well as Director Ramon Marimon. Moreover, we have had various guests attending the reading group, including where possible the scholars whose work we were discussing.

We started our series on 12 September 2012 with a discussion about our ideas and objectives for this reading group. On 5 October we discussed Fritz Scharpf ’s paper on ‘Monetary Union, Fiscal Crisis and the Pre-emption of Democracy’ in a meeting that was also attended by Tom Cooley (NYU). On 15 October we discussed a paper by Henning and Kessler on ‘Fiscal Federalism and the US History for Architects of Europe’s Fiscal Union’ in a meeting that was also attended by Ulrike Liebert (University of Bremen) and Tom Cooley (NYU).

On 5 November Miguel Maduro (EUI) joined us for a discussion of a report prepared by him for the European Parliament on ‘A New Governance for the European Union and the Euro: Democracy and Justice’. Hanspeter Kriesi (EUI) joined us on 10 December for a discussion on his paper, ‘The Political Consequences of the Financial and Economic Crisis in Europe: Electoral Punishment and Popular Protest’. On 11 March 2013 Bruno De Witte (EUI) joined us for a discussion of his paper on the use of international law in the framework of the economic union during the crisis. On 22 April Thomas Beukers presented a paper on the European Central Bank’s role in the Eurozone crisis, in preparation of a conference talk.

epistemological issues, the reading group focused on how different scholars approached issues such as macro vs. micro, structure vs. agency, continuity vs. contingency, parsimony vs. complexity, and material vs. ideational factors. The reading group gave participants a chance to analyse and reflect upon a wide range of research designs and methodologies used by historical sociologists. These included an investigation into how historical sociologists understand and employ comparative analysis, wordsystems analysis, causal mechanisms, narratives and interpretation, process tracing, time and temporality, path dependency, and concept formation. An underlying theme of the reading group was to debate whether history and the social sciences should merge into a common and unified discipline, and whether social scientists and historians must have a ‘theory of history’. The aim was to deepen, refine and further the theoretical comprehension, research agenda, and methods of the Max Weber Fellows (MWFs) involved in the reading group and workshop.

Contemporary Approaches to Studying Norms across Disciplines Coordinator: Giulia Cordero Coma (SPS)

A reading group on norms was organized within the Max Weber Programme during the 2012-2013 academic year. Norms are generally understood to be ubiquitous in human societies. Scholarship in diverse fields such as law, economics, politics and sociology has consequently dedicated considerable attention to the meaning and function of norms in ordering various kinds of interactions.

sanctions in the enforcement of norms, and this was the main topic in the Multidisciplinary Research Workshop on Norms that the group organized and which took place on 22 May 2013. In this workshop, Cristina Bicchieri (University of Pennsylvania), gave a keynote talk on the relevance of compensation to victims of norm violation in comparison to that of punishment of violators by third parties, while Giulia Andrighetto (ISTC and former MW Fellow) presented her work on the importance of the combination of norm signalling and material punishment in the promotion of social cooperation.

CONFERENCES The Max Weber Programme holds at least three major conferences over the academic year. Thanks to the enhancement of discussions between Fellows on our

intranet Moodle platform, the Fellows’ initiatives in organizing conferences on interdisciplinary research topics of mutual interest grew in 2012-2013.

In 2012-2013 the Max Weber Programme (co-) organised the following conferences 7th MWP-ACO Conference: Academic Careers in the Social Sciences: Entry, Competition and Advancement.

Villa la Fonte, 28 November 2012 The conference brought together academics, education policy experts and former Max Weber Fellows to discuss experiences across disciplines and in various regions, and to debate the crucial challenges currently facing young researchers entering academia.

25

This year’s conference focused primarily on assessing career progression paths across academic disciplines and through regional education systems. Five academic systems were outlined: the Anglo-Saxon system, North and Western Europe, Southern Europe, East and Central Europe, and Asia and beyond. The conference evaluated components in each discipline across these regional areas, addressing issues such as: which type of institutes and educational systems foster the highest quality research; how and when can a particular system be accessed; and what is the ‘best’ path towards personal and professional career advancement?

The morning session of the conference addressed general questions. The first panel asked whether the traditional tenure-track model of academic career development remains relevant and what obstacles exist for career progression in different countries. In the lively debate between the panellists that followed, Antonio Cabrales of Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, Barbara Kehm of Kassel University in Germany and Jochen Fried of the Salzburg Global Seminar discussed the relevance of the tenure-track model, concluding that its projected survival varies across different regions. What emerged however was a clear picture of the need to reform the way in which academia is quantified and managed, and a call for changes to the system.

The second panel, consisting of Christopher Hale from Universities UK, Joerg Friedrichs from the University of Oxford and Diego Muro of Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionales, considered whether austerity measures in education have exacerbated the ‘brain drain’ effect in universities. There was considerable debate over the terms ‘brain-drain’ and ‘brain-gain’, along with marked disagreement between the panellists about whether the global recession has created more opportunities in some sectors while closing national academic markets in others.

What particularly came into focus here was the question of mobility, namely the ease with which scholars may move between different national academic markets, and the role the recession has played in pushing many academics out of their national markets in search of advancement.

26

The afternoon session involved a structured discussion of career advancement paths and opportunities across the various disciplines concluding with a roundtable debate comparing and contrasting different experiences in different countries. Of particular relevance was the debate which raged over assessment criteria, with publishing and teaching experiences considered important across the disciplines and regions. There was a general feeling that publication is being over-emphasised in most systems, resulting in the de-valuation of teaching. Overall it was concluded that greater consensus is needed between the disciplines and across the social sciences in order to stabilize the academic system.

Sense and Sentiment in the Early Modern World, joint conference, Department of History and Civilization and the Max Weber Programme, 1 March 2013 Sense and Sentiment in the Early Modern World was a one-day colloquium which brought together scholars to explore how their research speaks to the history of feelings, beliefs and bodily senses in the early modern world.

Papers were given on a range of topics from affect to physiology, and sought to find links between the history of emotions and the fields of transnational history, the history of science and religion, and gender history. What emotional cultures characterized the early modern period?

What were the early modern vocabularies and taxonomies of emotion? How were senses and sentiments represented and expressed?

Raising these questions allowed the colloquium to address some enduring disciplinary issues concerning the historical specificity of sense and sentiment.

the conference was to approach Machiavelli from an interdisciplinary as well as international perspective. To that end, speakers were invited from New Zealand, Buenos Aires, the US, Canada, and throughout Europe; their talks touched on a range of topics including the family, earlymodern political economy, the euro crisis, the city-state, and the reception of Machiavelli in Japan.

Speakers included: Anna Becker (Universität Basel), Jeremie Barthas (Queen Mary, University of London), Elias Palti (University of Buenos Aires), Konrad Lawson (EUI, MWF), Martin van Gelderen (Lichtenberg Kolleg Göttingen), J. Matthew Hoye (EUI, MWF), Jonathan Scott (University of Auckland), presented by Karin Tilmans (MWP, EUI), Philippe Schmitter (emeritus EUI), and Aidan Regan (EUI, MWF). Peter Stacey (UCLA) delivered the introductory talk ‘Il vivere servo in Machiavelli’s political philosophy’ and John McCormick (University of Chicago) delivered the concluding keynote lecture on ‘Machiavelli on Misawarded Glory: Agathocles, Scipio and “the writers”’.

Ramon Marimon, Karin Tilmans, Susan Garvin, Martin van Gelderen and Matthew Hoye organized the conference.

The departments of History and Civilization, and Social and Political Science, provided generous financial support.

The conference also included a memorable dinner at Machiavelli’s house in San Casciano. By all measures, the conference was a success.

7th Max Weber Fellows June Conference, Villa la Fonte, 12-14 June 2013 The 2013 June conference of the Max Weber Programme brought past and present Fellows together under the roof of Villa La Fonte. The conference provided a perspective on the Max Weber Fellows’ contributions to the Social Sciences and Humanities, in research and academia. It was also a forum for the fostering of cross-disciplinary and inter-cohort academic collaboration, and for reflection on the MWP experience and academic experiences in teaching and in the job market, which will also benefit future cohorts of Fellows.

MWP ACADEMIC CAREERS OBSERVATORY

Established in March 2007, the Academic Careers Observatory (ACO) of the Max Weber Programme is now in its sixth year of activity. The Observatory is funded by the European Commission and, in line with the overall objective of the MWP, it provides online information on academic careers in Europe and beyond to young researchers. Using the resources available within the EUI and the MWP, the Observatory compiles information for a wider internet public. In a dual capacity, the Observatory also provides a comparative framework for reflection on the situation, problems and perspectives of academic careers in the humanities and social sciences in Europe and elsewhere. As this report of activity shows, in the year 2012-2013 the ACO has both reinforced and expanded the way in which it interprets and performs monitoring.

ACO CONFERENCES On 28 November 2012 ACO held its annual conference, this year titled Academic Careers in the Social Sciences: Entry, Competition and Advancement. The conference brought together academics, education policy experts and former Max Weber Fellows to discuss experiences across disciplines and in various regions, and to debate the crucial challenges currently facing young researchers entering academia.

This year’s conference focused primarily on assessing career progression paths across disciplines and through

MAX WEBER PROGRAMME FOR POST-DOCTORAL STUDIES

regional systems. Five academic systems were outlined: the Anglo-Saxon system, North and Western Europe, Southern Europe, East and Central Europe, and Asia and beyond. The conference evaluated components in each discipline across these regional areas to address issues such as: which type of institutions and educational systems foster the best research; how and when can you access a particular system; and what is the best path towards personal and professional advancement.

For the first time in its history, ACO organised an additional conference on 6 March 2013. The National and European Funding Opportunities Conference served as a forum for representatives of different funding programmes and national research representatives to discuss and promote project funding, grants, and Fellowships at the national and international level.

Finally, a representative of ACO was awarded a travel scholarship, on the basis of a 3 minute video about the activities of the programme, to attend the Researcher Careers and Mobility Conference in Dublin in May 2013. The conference was organised as part of the Irish Presidency of the European Union and discussed issues such as academic mobility, career advancement and the challenges facing early-career researchers, which are pertinent to the research agenda of ACO.

IMPACT REPORT From November 2012-May 2013, ACO carried out research on the career progression of former Max Weber Fellows (MWF) and non-Fellows, i.e. those who applied to the programme and either proved unsuccessful in their application or who declined the Fellowship. The central aim of this research was to assess whether or not the MWP has an impact on the academic labour market.

Information on 481 postdoctoral academics was collected, divided between former Fellows of the MWP and nonFellows. Information on the career progression and current job positions of the participants was gathered and analysed. The information on both groups was gathered from their application materials, supplied to the MWP, and the internet search-engine Google, which was used to trace non-Fellows in particular.

The results reflected some consistencies across these indicators. Nationality proved to be a strong determinant for career progression in different regions. The majority of MWF proceeded to gain academic positions in Europe (whereas among non-Fellows who applied to the programme from the United States, a high percentage were successful on the academic job market in North America). The gender indicator also produced interesting results with women among both Fellows and non-Fellows proving to be less visible on the academic job market, regardless of participation in the programme.

Through emphasizing the importance of early-stage career opportunities and funding, as well as researcher mobility, the Observatory has provided, and continues to provide, invaluable assistance to European researchers and academics, and makes the first concrete steps towards forming a genuine European Research Area. In particular, ACO is currently working on the interview section of the website in order to disseminate the experiences of Fellows who have found success on the job market, with the aim of providing clear and directed tips on different interview styles and possible scenarios.

CHALLENGES AHEAD As ACO continues into its 7th year, its research agenda will become more expansive. Currently, the Observatory is organising its forthcoming annual conference, for November 2013, on ‘Academic Contracts’.

Please visit the Max Weber Programme – Academic Careers Observatory website: http:// w w w. e u i . e u / P r o g r a m m e s A n d F e l l o w s h i p s / AcademicCareersObservatory/Index.aspx

The report was presented at the Max Weber June Fellows conference on 15 June and has since been published on the ACO webpage. http://www.eui.eu/Documents/MWP/ AcademicCareers/FinalImpactReport.pdf WEBSITE UPDATES One of the main functions of the ACO is to update the webpages with pertinent and relevant information on ACO activities and the related issues of academic careers. This year, the focus has been on updating the various country pages, with information on academic careers in each region.

This has been meticulously completed by the ACO staff.

By the end of October 2012, 1120 applications were received for a Max Weber Fellowship, out of which 32 candidates were made an offer for 2013-2014, while 10 fellows went into their second year fellowship.

The website, which has both a public and reserved part, has been created to further strengthen one of the most valued elements of a Max Weber Fellowship, namely the possibility of communication and networking across cohorts and disciplines.

All Max Weber Fellows had an office in Villa la Fonte and all Programme activities and professional training take place in the Villa, which is suitably equipped – with its Conference Room and smaller seminar rooms – to provide for all collective and interdisciplinary activities, as well as for smaller group work. The individual and shared offices are equipped with desktop computers with Skype, a telephone for each Fellow, and a whiteboard for common use. Printers directly serving the desktop PCs are located in the public spaces close to all offices.

The website offers a forum for all current and former Max Weber Fellows: to create their own profile, exchange ideas, share job vacancies, and maybe find a co-author. It also includes a space for the announcement of conferences, publications and other news, professional as well as personal.

The idea behind it is, in other words, to create a special space for interaction within the growing MWP community.

Interested Fellows should follow a few simple steps to register, after which they will have access to both the private and the public part of the website.

Visit: www.mwf-society.eu.

Villa La Fonte as home to the Max Weber Programme has been significant in many ways: not only has it enabled the Fellows to ‘live’ inter- and multi-disciplinarity in daily practice by sharing offices with Fellows from other disciplines, it has also enhanced the collectivity of the
